Plate Rolling & Forming Capabilities
Argo Industries delivers precision-driven plate rolling and metal forming solutions for industrial applications that demand accuracy, strength, and consistency. From heavy plate rolling to complex steel plate forming, our capabilities are built to support both one-off custom components and repeat production runs.
We work with a wide range of materials—including carbon steel, stainless steel, and specialty alloys—using advanced CNC equipment and experienced operators to ensure every part meets tight tolerances. Whether your project requires rolled plate steel for cylindrical sections or advanced cold forming steel for structural components and liner plates, Argo provides a seamless, in-house solution from raw material to finished product.
Plate Rolling Capabilities
Argo Industries specializes in metal plate rolling for applications that require precision-formed cylindrical and conical components. Our 3/8” x 8’ 4-roll plate rolling machine allows us to pre-bend plate edges, eliminating flat spots and ensuring a consistent radius across the entire part.
This advanced setup enables us to produce high-quality rolled plate steel components with clean edges that are ready for welding. We can also incorporate beveling, creating optimal joint preparation for cylinders and pressure vessels.
Our heavy plate rolling capabilities support a wide range of thicknesses and diameters, allowing us to manufacture components for:
- Storage tanks
- Industrial heavy duty Ductwork
- Processing vessels and tanks
- Industrial cylinders and cones
Whether working with hot rolled steel plate or other materials, our team ensures smooth finishes, accurate geometry, and repeatable results. With experience in both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, Argo delivers reliable performance across every project involving steel plate rolls and roll forming steel applications.
Metal Forming Capabilities
Argo Industries provides comprehensive steel plate forming services designed to handle complex geometries and demanding material requirements. Our approach to forming various metal components is rooted in precision, process control, and deep material expertise.
The Multi-Operation Metal Forming Advantage
Many projects require more than a single forming step. At Argo, we manage the full workflow in-house:
- Shearing to size using a 12’ hydraulic shear
- Hole creation through laser cutting or beam line drilling and tapping
- Press brake forming (single bend or multi-hit forming)
- Plate rolling for cylindrical or curved sections
- Welding (tack, seam, or structural)
- Powder coat finishing
Keeping this entire process under one roof eliminates handoff delays, reduces tolerance variation, and ensures consistent quality from start to finish.
Our Expertise Across Metal Materials
Our team understands how different materials respond to cold forming steel processes and adjusts accordingly:
- A36 Steel: Predictable forming with moderate spring-back, ideal for standard structural applications
- Grade 50 (A572): Higher strength requiring increased tonnage and compensation for additional spring-back
- AR400 / AR500: Abrasion-resistant steels requiring larger bend radii and careful grain direction management
- T-1 (A514): High-strength material demanding precise radius control to prevent fracture
- Stainless Steel: Requires controlled forming due to work-hardening, making operator precision critical in every pass
This level of control allows us to deliver consistent results across all steel plate forming applications, including complex bends, tight tolerances, and high-strength materials.
